TMI Tag

Hey everyone! Today I'm doing the TMI tag! Keep reading to see what my answers are to the questions if you're curious! :D

Here are the questions:
1: What are you wearing? A pink hoodie with black skinny jeans. Just basic lounging outfit for an afternoon at home :)
2: Ever been in love? Yup ♥
3: Ever had a terrible breakup? I guess I have
4: How tall are you? 5'6 or 5'7 not exactly sure

5: How much do you weigh? 126 pounds, but does anyone really care? I guess you could say the same for every question in this tag :P
6: Any tattoos? Nope
7: Any piercings? Just one in each ear.
8: OTP? Definitely Elena + Damon!
9: Favourite show? That's just impossible to answer, I watch a million shows! Right now I like : Downton Abbey, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Brooklyn 99, Trophy Wife, Modern Family, Drop Dead Diva and Game of Thrones. I've also started watching True Detective, but I'm still making my mind up about it.
10: Favourite bands? Knife Party, The M Machine, other than that I usually like solo artists as a general rule
11: Something you miss? The freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want.
12: Favourite song? I have so many favorites. Lately I've been listening to Black by The M Machine often, so I guess we could say that's my current favorite!

22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Again it depends on my hair. If I have to wash and dry it, I would say about one hour and a half. If my hair is already clean then anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes depending on what kind of makeup I decide to do (none, basic, or more elaborate).
23: Ever been in a physical fight? No
24: Turn on? Don't feel like answering this one
25: Turn off? Bad breath I guess

Spring Pastel Rainbow Eye Makeup

While Spring is now quite here yet for us in Quebec (it's -11 degrees celcius as I'm writing this), the days have been becoming longer lately, which is a clear sign that warmer weather is in the making. In the Spring time, I always go back to my pastels and colorful shades. Thinking of warm weather inspired me to do a rainbow pastel eye look for you all! Hope you enjoy!

Navy Blue Eye with a Pop of Burgundy

I've been feeling like doing a navy smokey eye for a bit now. I did one way back in the day and I had really loved the results. I thought it would be nice to do it again now that I have a better set up. I didn't want to recreate my old look exactly, so I decided to put a twist on it and add a pop of burgundy to the center of the lid. I'm really quite happy with how it looks and I think it would be perfect for a night out!

Neutral and Matte Graduation Picture Makeup

Hey all! Today I'm sharing the makeup I wore for my graduation photo. The photo agency recommend a matte, neutral but polished look, so that's what I went for of course. I did a barely there eye look, pinky cheeks and a natural lip color. I simply deepened up the crease a little bit, defined my eyebrows, added some half lashes and went for flawless skin. I think it turned out very natural, but put-together. It looks nice with or without flash and could be worn to a number of occasions. Also, it was my first time wearing falsies out of the house and they didn't get unglued or anything so I'm really happy!

With Flash

No flash
Sorry for the weird face I'm making, just couldn't get a good picture that day! ahah :P

Products used :

  • Cover Girl Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation

Makeup Vanity Staples that I Never Mention

Hi everyone! So I saw a post like this on Emily Noel's blog recently and I thought "What a great idea, I need to make a post like this for my blog!" So here we are, I'm going to share my vanity staples with you all today :)


- Baby wipes : Great for cleaning up swatches, hands and brushes. Much cheaper than using makeup wipes for that purpose.
- Two holes sharpener by Anabelle : The small hole fit regular size pencils and the bigger whole is perfect for those fat crayon type products (like the Jumbo Pencils by NYX)
- Scotch tape : Great for doing sharp angles
- Cosmetic cotton swabs : one side is pointy the other is flat. Great for cleaning up precisely.
- Makeup brush cleanser : To spot clean between uses
- Tweezers : I use them every time I do a makeup look to groom my brows, but also to apply falsies and rhinstones.
- Duo Clear Lash Glue : Great glue, dries clear and doesn't irritate my eyes

That's it for my makeup vanity staples! Hope you all enjoyed this quick post! See you the day after tomorrow :) Don't forget to follow me and like my Facebook page for more posts like this ♥

Nars Laguna and Orgasm Duo

I've been mentioning lately that I was thinking of buying the Laguna/Orgasm duo for a while now. I finally cracked and got it two weeks ago. Today I decided to share my thoughts and opinions on it!



Packaging : The packaging of NARS products is matte and sleek. It looks great when you first buy it, but it gets wrecked in a matter of days. It's kind of disappointing really. It's a luxury product, it would be nice for it to have a luxurious feel every time you take it out. Too bad.  4/10

Price : 50$

Swatches

Color and Finish

Orgasm : The blush is a nice coral with lots of shimmer. Beautiful with most skin tones. 10/10

Laguna : The bronzer is a matte medium shade with a slight orange tone to it. It's quite flattering even on my very light skin. For some reason I thought this would be darker tough. 9/10


Texture and Application

Orgasm : The blush has a soft texture without breaking apart when you swatch it. It's quite pigmented and easy to blend out.  It transfers easily onto the brush. 9/10

Laguna : The bronzer surprised me a little in terms of texture and application. It's quite a dry and densely packed powder. It seems like very little comes off when you swatch it or put a brush in it. It is also very faint once you apply it. You need to build it up in order to get it to be visible (and I'm very pale). It's not all bad tough, since it allows for a lot of control during application. You can either go very light or make it more prominent. It's also much less likely that you will overdo it (unlike with some very pigmented bronzers). I find that it is slightly difficult to blend out. 6/10

Overall

It's a very nice product, but it has a few flaws in my opinion (the packaging being the biggest one). I love Orgasm, but Laguna seems to be slightly overrated. Maybe I'm not using it properly? I definitely like it, but for the price, I thought it would be incredible. I need to try it out more to see if I can make it work for me a little better.

Orgasm : 9.5/10
Laguna : 7.5/10

That's all for today's review! Hope this was helpful. Have a good day!
